They said the funding received by the BJD in the party account during the 2014 general election came from “suspicious sources”.

“The party has received money through dubious sources during the last general elections. It should come clean. The chit fund money might have been used by the BJD during elections,” said BJP Vice President Sameer Mohanty.

The accusations came following a media report on the same issue.

Mohanty said the Bharatiya Janata Party would raise the matter before the Election Commission, the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax Department for a detailed investigation into such irregularities.
